REPRESENTATIVE MEN FROM EVERY STATE AND TERRITORY WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE PINSHOT A PROMOTER. (American New Service) Washington, May 5. Theodore Roosevelt's acceptance of the invlta- ' tlon to address the National Conservation congress has brought the Natlonal Conservation association. In the - Colorado building here, inquiries from oil over the country as to what the congress is going to be. ; The National Conservation congress is to be held at St Paul, Minn., the J li st week in September. It will be a congress in fact, representative of the various official and unofficial conservation bodies and of Industries and fisHoc-latlons from Main to California. The governors of all the states and territories, including Hawaii, Porto Kico and Alaska, will be invited and thtt additional , representation from Mate conservation commissions, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, t tute and municipal bodies and individual citizens , is expected to bring i attendance far up Into the thous- ' andl. What the Congress Is. Plana for the big meeting will be r.sade by the executive committee of llio congress and the executive com- . inlttee of the association working together. The congress differs from Ihc National Conservation association in that the congress has no continuing membership. It Is an annual meeting, like the National Rivers and Harbors congress and the National Irrigation congress, to which delegates arc sent from the several states. The National Conservation associa1 1on, of which Gif ford Pinchot is preslrfent, is made up of an individual irenabership of both men and women who are Interested in seeing the principles of conservation put into practical effect. It now has members in every state and Is working to bring its membership up to 100,000. The membership fee Is two dollars. The association is the national fighting force for conservation. Besides that, it is a . national Information bureau for the conservation movement. It keeps in close touch with proposed conservatlcn legislation both In congress and In the stales, and advises its members promptly of the situation. It also plves specific Information In answer to lnqu!rlea. . (Officers of the Congress. The president of the National Connervation congress is Bernard N. Baker, of Baltimore, Maryland, who for twenty-five years was at the head of 1ho Atlantic Transport line. The chairman of the ' executive committee is Captain J. B. White, of Kansas City, Mo. one of the big lumbermen of the country. The officer in Immediate charge of arrangements for the Conpress is Thomas R. Shipp, secretary cf the National Conservation association and executive secretary of the ccngress. The other officers of the congress not only represent different putts of the country but different organizations and Industries. The first National Conservation conKress was held at Seattle, last Aug- ' ust. in connection with the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Last Janu-. . aty, headquarters of the executive committee were established in connection with the National Conservation association, in the Colorado building here, where the officers of the executive secretary are located. It is regarded by the officers of the National Conservation congress as particularly fitting that President Roosevelt, who Invited the first conrervatton conference at the white rouse In May. 1908, should address the prcat National congress, which is the result of the white house conference. At Local Theaters At the Murray. DeVaro and Zemater are sensational bar acrobats and along with it can produce a hearty laugh. "Keeping an Appointment" Is a comedy playlet presented by Violet Allen ft Co. In an able and acceptable manner and is ' pleasing the audiences this week at the Murray. DeVoy and Dayton Sisters, the eccentric lancers, are making a hit. Whlttier-Ince ft Co. In a hilarious farce, "Dr. Smart's Dilemma" are producing a mirthful playlet in clever style. The misunderstandings produce domestic turmoil and all on account of a dog. The motion pictures help to make up a well balanced program.

Richmond Stock Co. -"When Love Is True win be the play at the Gennett next week and will add new laurels to the Richmond Stock Company. This organisation is becoming more and more popular with - each performance. And It is pretty well established that Richmond will support a first class stock company. . Manager Preston has sent to Denver for Frits Boone, a scenic artist of national reputation, who has been locat- . ed at the Curtis Theater there and he ' will arrive her this week to take charge of the productions and each and every play will be equipped with . special scenery from next week on. Three his New York successes are beta .contracted for and will be see

here in the near future. Announcements of the dates will be made later. "Miss Patsy.". Forrest .Winant, one of the finds for which -Henry W. Savage Is famous, is one of the greatest juvenile actors in America today, yet his stage career embraces only twenty-four months. Winant, who graduated with honors from the Engineering Course at. Stevens University,' found that an ' engineer had already been secured to build the Panama Canal when he left school. Peeling that nothing less than such a task was worthy of his skill, he turned to the stage. His success was instantaneous and pronounced. For his work in "The Three of Us" with Carlotta Nilsson .and in '"The Only IjRw," he was acclaimed as one of the most finished actors on the stage. In the character-comedy, "Miss Patsy," which author Sewell Colllngs has written, Mr. Winant has the important role of Dr. Gentry. Gertrude Quintan with her big supporting cast will be seen at the Gennett tonight in Miss Patsy. "

John Robinson Coming. The splendid reputation of the John Robinson Shows Is so firmly established none will doubt the genuineness of the promises made, and no one will be disappoined. This year the show has been enlarged so as to rank with any-tented organization on the road. Thousands of dollars have been spent In Improving every department. It costs about $3,500 a day to run such a big circus. ; There are 070 people with the show, besides 8;$ advance men, contracting agents and bill posters with the three advertising ears. The Robinson show carries UOO horses and 70 ponies, the lot valued at $70,000. The eight big elephants represent a fortune in themselves. With. the monster show is its own surgeon, barbers, blacksmiths, electrician and others. No one who is not in touch with the great show can form any idca"of the immensity of it. It is a small city In Itself, constantly on the move, but with all kinds of mechanical provisions for its running. -. . - One thousand pounds of v meat are consumed daily in the circus dining halls to say nothing of barrels of potatoes and similar supplies. All this is purchased daily. In the culinary department are employed fifteen cooks and thirty-six waiters, besides assistant cooks, meat cutters and pastry cooks. A circus is a splendid object lesson in system perfect system. This is seen in the unloading of the cars and in every detail of the work. Every man is held responsible for his particular duty. Mr. John Gi Robinson, who accompanies the circus, has 26 assistants on his staff. His "office on wheels," Is complete, being provided with all conveniences, even long distance and local telephones, electric lights, etc, The laundry bill of the ' big show alone is $250 per week.. , The money carried 6ut of a town by a circus is the extra' money brought by excursionists who come to the. show. The money receiveo from towr people is more than offset by, the bums paid out here for, supplies and other heeded expenses. The big shows are coming to Richmond, Thursday, May 12. . POISING OF THE TROUT. Its Resemblance to the Hovering of the Kestrol In the Air. . As the kestrel is to the clouds so Is the trout to the crystal waters. Both kestrels and trout display that magical poising us if Kuspeuded by invisible thread only now and theu. when cross currents are encountered, Is a sign given to show that life Itself is not In suspense. A brief agitation of the, kestrel's wings, a swishing of the trout's tail the cross current is weathered, and bird ; or bsb poises motionless again. And as when walking along we are pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the sight of 'the hovering kestrel, so we must needs pause on a bridge when there is a trout in the stream below. lie looks hit best poising with bead to the stream a shapely form against tbe background of smooth brown pebbles and waving emerald weeds. Leaning over the bridge with eyes on tbe trout a vision is conjured an alluring fly drops ou the water, then a slack line tightens, there Is a song from the reel, a rod bends, there follows a dazzling dauce of vermilion spots against the greeu of the bank. Or as we come to the bridge on a winter's day we think we hear a mighty plashing of water over the pebbles,, which turns out to be the play of thirty or forty trout, the play of tbe last round of some water tourney. As they come to the surface, rolling and wallowing, their great fat sides look twice as big as when seen through the clear water. They almost make a dam across tbe stream as they jostle each other, seeking for the choicest places on tbe spawning bed. London Standard. "Berlin, Germany, U. S" : "Say, is this letter addressed right?" asked a subject of Germany, holding up au elaborately decorated envelope before the eyes of a postman the other day. Tbe latter surveyed the writing closely. There were a name, a street and then the city and country, "Berlin, Germany." Below were written in bold characters the letters "U. S." Oh. you don't want "U.

.THE MUSKRAT. Mara People Trap This Little Animal Than Any Other. In America nearly 10.000 people trap the musquash, or muskrat, every year. More people trap this little animal than any other. It is claimed that the greatest number of skins are taken in Minnesota and the Red river district. Most of the pelts are exported. The skins are very uniform in color, usually a dark brown. ' However, those of Alaska and the Mackenzie district are very light io color. The black pelts or those which are nearly so come from tbe southern sections, a! though occasionally a few are found in other localities. The muskrat is very prolific, lc some latitudes, says Fur News, it has three Utters of young iu a summer and from three to five young in each litter The auimals : are nocturnal in theii habits, but are often seen during tut day. Musquash. It Is said, thrive best In sluggish streams, lakes and marsh es. In appearance it is very much lib the beaver, aud its habits are ver similar. The muskrats that inhabit tbe ponds marshes and shallow lakes build their bouses of grass, weeds, etc, and plater t heiu together with mud. Tbt bouse U built lo the shape of K doom and is usually several feet above tlu water. The musquash that lives alou;: the streams usually has its home ' tbe banks of them. The entrance t this den is almost always beneath th water, but as tbe burrows range up ward tbe dens are never filled wit n water except In times of freshets. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.
